[Clinical-functional of somatic condition and delivery in women with mitral valve prolapse]
Pregnancy running with concomitant somatic disease, mitral prolapse (MP), in particular, remains a serious clinical problem because of MP high incidence rate and severity of complications. The author studied somatic condition, perinatal and postnatal periods in women in labor (WLs) with MP in comparison with healthy WL. A comprehensive clinical examination of 130 pregnant women, WLs and puerperae has revealed some regularities. Women with MP are more frequently affected with extragenital infectious and non-infectious diseases, have disorders of intracardiac hemodynamics. Because of frequent occurrence of anomalous labour and postnatal period, pregnant women with MP should be referred to a group of obstetric and perinatal pathology risk. The results of current research urge the necessity of a comprehensive examination of pregnant women for MP. They should be placed under early special observation, adequately treated or get advice on whether the pregnancy should be continued.
